region 2 dvd ok ??

Options
for Simply Red fans .....

there was a brilliant concert shown on tv a couple of weeks ago ... amazing gig !!.

Simply Red in Cuba ... is available on dvd at about £17.

Seen an ad for cd wow who are offerring at £9.99 ..and of course can get £1 code and quidco off that.

It says though " Region 2 Uk & Europe / Japan " ... is that what i need ??

... i keep getting confused with "multiregion" etc.

thanks

    If you have a "region locked" DVD Player then you will need to get the DVD that matches the region your DVD Player plays. If your player was originally purchased in the UK, it is almost certainly Region 2. Therefore, you will need a Region 2 DVD Disk to play correctly.

    If you have a multi-region or "unlocked" DVD player then this means you can play any region DVD, region 1, 2, 3 etc., so a Region 1 would play even though you might have bought it in the UK.

    Yes that's fine as long as yoru Dvd player was bought in the UK. YOu should have any probs.

    Region 1 = USA and Canada
    Region 2 = UK, Europe, Japan, South Africa and Middle East
    Region 3 = Southeast and East Asia
    Region 4 = Australia, New Zealand, Central and South America
    Region 5 = Former Soviet Union, Indian sub-continent, Africa, North Korea and Mongolia
    Region 6 = China
